#51 '79 Cessna 182 King Katmai by Peterson - Flying Napa to Long Beach

This week we have this beautiful 1979 Cessna 182 with the King Katmai STC by Peterson for you. We had to fly up from Long Beach to Oakland on Southwest and then get a ride over to Napa airport to pick this beauty up and flew it down the California coast. Since we had an early start we really wanted to eat something along the way but as it turns out, finding airport restaurants is getting harder and harder. We first stopped in Half Moon Bay but unfortunately there was no food there, so we continued further south to Monterey for some really delicious burgers. We then headed off to our final destination - OCR AVIATION in Long Beach.
I personally really like this 182 King Katmai conversion. It's relatively fast, it's got 4 seats, good useful load and very good STOL performance. This is a great airplane for the occasional backwoods' pilot. The upgraded avionics and the low total time on the airframe make this airplane feel almost like a brand new 182, and personally as I mentioned in the video, I would prefer this over a new 2022 Cessna 182.
What do you think about this King Katmai 182? Do you like it? Let me know in the comments!
This airplane is for sale and will be listed on controller soon. The listing will be linked HERE once it goes online.

Souped-up Skylane - Great all around aircraft for loads of personal mission profiles. Probably about a grand on the range - so a SoCal based pilot is looking at Cabo, West Texas, Cheyenne, Spokane, and Seattle in terms of easy operating arc. Lots of beautiful country to fly in that arc and this plane looks like it'll get you in and out of almost anything. Looks pretty rugged....like it's just begging you to operate it in the back-country.

I started watching your videos because I love 421’s, and you have quickly become one of my favorite pilots to watch. I have my instrument check ride this Friday, and learning to fly while watching your videos was really helpful to me sounding calm and professional on the radio.

[@FlyingwithRich]

Me too. Great airplane.

[@davemaccarter64]

Skylanes are the safest and best all around 4 place piston aircraft ever made. Its a timeless design. The original 230 hp is adequate but 300 hp would just make them better. Flew one for many years and hearing the "whistle" just at the stall as they touched down brought back some lovely memories. Thanks for this nice post.

[@FlyingwithRich]

Thank you and I don't disagree!

I've about 80 hours in one..along with the mods you mentioned there's also a new engine mount...prop stc..and I believe a nose wheel firewall reinforcement...if I had to pick one multipurpose four seater to fly the rest of my life a King Kat would fit the bill

Hey Rich, love your videos. It’s cool to see all the different airplanes you fly. I worked in the Bay Area (Foster City) for 3 years back in the 80s. It’s fun to see some of the sights from the air that I visited back in those days. I wasn’t a pilot then but I am now. (Commercial, instrument, ASEL, AMEL).
